Chapter 2 The New Journey

Dirk's House

"Mom." Lloyd said talking to his mother's grave, "Dad left. That was okay right, for me to let him go into space with Derris-Kharlan."

Dirk standing behind him said, "Ya wanted to go with him, didn't ya."

"No." Lloyd replied. "I have my own path to follow, and Dad has his. Besides I've got two things keeping me here. You are my dad and the journey I'm about to set out on with my best friend."

Dirk just smiled and left Lloyd to talk to his mother. However as he turned around he saw Sheena walking silently around the corner, but said nothing.

Sheena had walked up right behind Lloyd as he was leaving Kratos' sword at the grave sight. He stood up and whistled for Noishe. He almost jumped out of his skin when he had almost bumped heads with Sheena instead of looking at Noishe.

Sitting on his butt from the sheer shock he stammered, "Why did you do that?"

"I dunno. Guess it's a habit from Mizuho." Sheena said handing her hand to Lloyd with a smile.

"Shall we leave then?" Lloyd asked as she pulled him up.

"Not just yet, I mean, I've been trying to get the people of Mizuho settled from their move. So could we just stay here tonight?" She asked with her face almost growing red.

"Of course Sheena, besides I need to properly introduce you to Dad as well as having a bowl of your Pineapple Curry." He said with a smile.

"You really like that don't you. All right fine." She had to laugh at how much he liked it.

The curry was good as always and Lloyd was having a third helping. Dirk seemed to be enjoying the curry as well and had probably had just as big of a stomach.

Lloyd was in fact a little like both his fathers, which made her giggle just a little. Before they knew it, it was time for bed and Lloyd, being the gentleman he was, let Sheena have his bed while he took the floor on the other side of the room.

Lloyd couldn't sleep however much he wanted to, so he got up quietly trying not to wake Sheena. He moved across the room, but hit a drawer only two feet away that sent a shock of pain starting from his shins all the way up his back.

He left his room for the terrace in relief Sheena hadn't even stirred. When he got there he saw her looking up at the stars.

A smile came across his face as he thought, "This is a good chance for me to try and sneak up on her for earlier."

"Lloyd I wouldn't do that if I were you." She said with a little irritation in her voice.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help it." He said rubbing the back of his head. She turned around and just smiled.

"He's so simple minded." She thought, "But I guess that's one of the reasons I like him."

"Hey Sheena." He said moving right next to her.

"What is it Lloyd?" She asked a little confused.

"Could you pull out your wings, I'd really like to see them." He said but what he thought was "I really just want to see how beautiful she is with her wings."

She pulled out her wings, which were now a mixture of indigo and violet, while Lloyd looked at them and her and she looked at him.

After about a minute of staring they both realized what they were doing and they turned away not to show the other how many shades of red they were turning.

Finally Lloyd broke the silence by asking, "So how do you think you got those wings?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but it might have been that Mithos was an angel and when he took over my body he had to put some of his soul into mine to control it. So it might be some of his soul that caused my wings, but I don't think it was enough for me to go through Angel Toxicosis." Sheena explained.

"Arrgh. I don't like long versions so I'll try and shorten it up, besides I didn't understand some of it." He thought.

"So what you're saying is that, it's like a gift from Mithos." He summarized.

"Or curse." She retorted.

"I think it's probably a gift." He emphasized.

After a long silence and looking a the stars Lloyd said, "Hey, do you mind if we don't use the rehairds and just walk on the journey. It might be easier to get some exspheres, and besides it would be a lot more fun."

"Sure Lloyd, but we probably aught to get to bed." She suggested. He nodded and they walked back into his room and again running into the same dresser.

"Damn! That's the second time tonight!" He thought wincing at the pain. Sheena couldn't help but giggle a little.

"It seems that turning into an angel hasn't effected him either." She thought with a sigh of relief.

What awaits them as they leave without rehairds. Please R&R.

See ya.
